The Potato Crop.

'How are the potatoes coming in ?" asked
the Journal man of a prominent Augusta
grocer yesterday.
Very slowly. and those we do get don't
last long. 1t looks as if the crop was going
to be almost dead failure"
whats the reason of that?'
'Rot. That rainy weather we had last
month was ruinous to the crop. Why if we
get lot of apparently good sound potatoes
in to-day, in few days good part of them
will be in bad condition"
"Do you think the whole crop will be like
that2"
"Well no, am in hopes not. l am in
clined to think that the greater part of the
potatoes that are coming in now are dug on
the low lands. l am in hopes that those
from the highlands which will come in later,
will prove of much better quality. If they
should not" he added, "potatoes may be an
expensive article of food for the next year"

An Old Archiye,

One of the most venerable archives in Ken
nebec county is the vault in the Registry of
Probate's Office. The legal accumulations of
this room were shown to Journal reporter
recently BY Mr.. Fred Owen, the popular
assistant in the office. There is decidedly
legal atmosphere about the room arising from
the old and musty documents which have
been collecting here from the early history of
Kennebec.
''There is quite a difference in our present
method of recording documents, from that
formerly employed" remarked Mr.. Owen.
"Thsn everything was written out in full,
after this fashion" and he opened an ancient
looking book and showed the Journal man
the record of James Bridges commission as
the first Judge of Probate ia Kennebec
county in 1893
"That must have been considerable of a
task"
"Well it was, but the comparatively small
amount of the business in those days made it
possible"
''You don't do that now them"
''Oh no, the work has been very much
simplited by these printed forms, and we
have only to flllout the blanks. This is not
only more rapid but more accurst. method
of recording"
'Do those forms fit every kind of docu-
ment that comes to the Officer"
"Nearly so, excepting of course the wills
which have to be written out in full"
This is pretty well crowded here"
eyes; we have only very little shelf
room left now, and the drawers are pretty
we'll filled up. We shall have to get larger
accommodations in the near future"
If the old papers of this room could speak
what tales of litigation and settlement, of
hopes and fears, OF loves and hates, would
issue from their yellow lips. But here they
lie in their official tomb, to be ccasionally
resurrected by some Jealous disciple of
Lycurgus who finds a legal inspiration in
these records of tle past

A venerable tourist from the North end OF
"Weighbac" struck the city yesterday. He
was apparently man who had been South
and warmed his blood in the wine of the
climate. He was an eccentric genius.
white, low-crowded, anteluvian beaver snr-
mounted his pensive brow, A full suit OF
corduroy clad his manly form. He had a
face like that of Roman Patrician wander
ing home with stately tread from a midnight
Saturnalis with the hectic flush of his coun-
tenance condensed at one glowing point to
light the way. He was large man, he
might have been great man, he might have
been poet, philosopher, or democratic
statesman, but the world passed him by with
scorn and called him "a tramp" Social
laws make strange distinctions.

Mr. Plaisted, in this weeks New Age, in
an article headed "The Journals Confession,
shows his true character. He whines and
snvels and ilks about the high rate of tax
alton and the certainty of its going higher
rather than lower, and claims that the re-
moval ota large amount of personal property
from the city by reason of change of residence
is because of high taxation, and Is to be de-
plored by every good and loyal citizen. Now
Brother Plsisted, when he wrote this whin-
ing, snivelling article knew, or if he did not
know his as sist ant editor could furnish him the
information, that the loss of personal property
was owing to the removal of young lady
from this city to Baltimore, by reason of
marrying a citizen of that city, taking with
her her personal property, SIS 200. that had
heretofore been taxed here. This is the
whole of it. Mr.. Plaisted was in possession
of this information, but he prefers to Islander
his city and hold it up to the contempt and
ridicule of the world by pretending that it is
retrograding, and he is thus making himself
a brake on the wheels of progress. Our
present city government, with our worthy
mayor at its head, is managing our city affairs
in an economical and business like manner,
and is doing it to the approval of our citizens.
Augusta was never in more prosperous con-
dition; it is having genuine business boom 4;
it is increasing every year in its number OF
residences, and all the snivelling, and the
snarling and the whining which Mr.. Plaisted
may write and publish in his paper will not
prove an effectual brake on the wheels OF
progress.

is McNEaLLY a HORSE rHIEr


Waterville despatch says: The mex,
evening after Frank McNeally disappeared
from Saco young man, accompa MED by an
older companion, engaged team at W. T.
Clarkson's livery stable here to 20 to Oak.
land. Nothing has since been seen or heard
of team or men. The description given BY
the stable hostlers of the young men tallies
exactly with the description of McNeally, as
since published.
Deputy Sheriff Hill, becoming suspicious
that the team robber and the bank robber
were one and the same, informed Detective
True of Portland Of his suspicious and re-
quested q picture of the young man. Detec-
tive True sent him copy of the Globe con-
tanning McNeally's picture. and it was shown
to Charley Ryan, the hostler. who let the
team. He instantly said: THAT is the young
man who hired the team"
The description given by another hostler
at the stable, who saw the man, corresponds
to that published of McNeally. Mr.. Ryan
said in speaking OF the appearance of the
two men THE young man was / should
say about IS or 20. He was quite tall. slim
and very straight. He appeared quite nerv-
Gus aud in great hurry. The older man
was about 26 or so. He was stout. with q
kCN idSC, anu WOEc SUI ulhck nat anu UATk
clothes. One said to the other, Il will run
up to the house and get my overcast The
other said, however. that thev you'd drive up
and get it. Perhaps they might have had ref
erence to something else besides an overcoat
which they had concealed near by
Deputy Sheriff Hill and Mr.. Clarkson both
think that the two men were McNeally and a
companion.
All conditions go to show the probabilities
of Mr. Hills suspicious. McNeally and a
confederate. whoever he may be. could have
left Portland on Monday nights train. Know
ing that all the depots would be watched Tues
day and desiring to get to Canada with their
Doodle, the very wisest thing they could do
would be to leave the train here, wait till
night, hire team, and drive right through to
Canada, distance of IS miles, perhaps ex.
changing teams on the way.
